Insurance policies?

[Centurion07]

Having just passed my DAS on wednesday (with only 2 minors which I think was bloody harsh! Personally I think he gave me those 'cos of the unmarked sliders on my brand new leathers! ), I'm now searching for a bike.

I'm looking at a GSXR600 (good first bike, no?! ), and, having done the online quote thing using a comparison site for bike insurance, the cheapest I can get is..................£227! I budgeted for about £600 so that was great!

Now, being a complete tart, I only want to ride during the summer months, or, more accurately, when it's dry (so about 2 days in June, 3 in July, and a couple in August then!). I seem to remember someone saying that they used to get a policy for six months for this very reason, so I was wondering what do you guys all do when it comes to insurance?

Is it possible to get a six month policy or do I just have to cancel the yearly one & suck up the admin fee to do that?

And anyone in or around Basingstoke want to show a newbie how to ride I'll be up for that when I get a bike.

For £227 i would insure it all year.That way you can ride it all year if the weather is good and its fully insured should the worst happen and it goes missing.Also if your car were to break down the bike is there insured and ready to go if needed.
